Answer:

(a) 84.2

(b) 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this questions we can use the standardization formula, where we know that if X\sim N(\mu,\sigma^2) then Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \sim N(0,1)

So for

(a) we know that the z score for the 70th percentile is 0.524, so using the normalization equation we have

\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=0.524

X=0.524*8+80=84.192

(b) We can procede as above and get

Answer:

a) 84.2  b)10.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! Hope you are doing fine.

First to obtain the 70th percentile we make use of tables found (everywhere) with the relation bewteen the percentile and the so-called <em>z-score </em>

Such like this one:

<u>https://www.mymathtables.com/statistic/z-score-percentile-normal-distribution.html</u>

There we look for the 70th percentile and found that its <em>z-score </em>is 0.524. This is the number of times of standar deviations which we are far from the mean, <em>i.e. </em>:

z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma} -- (1)

In our case we have:

μ = 80

σ = 8

replacing these values on the eq (1) we have:

0.524 = \frac{x- 80}{8}

Now we find <em>x</em>

x = 0.524*8+80

So x=84.192 and if we round it to the tenths place:

     x=84.2

For the second part we now look for the percentile of a <em>z-score</em> <em> </em>with x = 70

now:

z = \frac{70-80}{8} = -1.25

Now we look in the table for a number close to it or alternatively we can use a calculator such as this one:

<u>https://measuringu.com/pcalcz/</u>

   Just make sure you select the one-sided option

We found that the -1.25 <em>z-score</em> corresponds to 10.565%

Rounding it to the tenths position we get

   p = 10.6%

The rate of growth of profit​ (in millions) from an invention is approximated by Upper P prime (x )equals x e Superscript negati
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The function is  P(x) =  \frac{1}{2} e^{-x^2} +0.016

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The rate of growth  is  P'(x) =  xe^{x} - x^2

     The total profit is P(2)  =$25,000

      The time taken to make the profit is x =  2 \ years

         

From the question

     P'(x) =  xe^{-x^2}  is the rate of growth

  Now here x represent the time taken

Now the total profit is mathematically represented as

       P(x) =  \int\limits {P'(x)} \,  =   \int\limits {xe^{-x^2}} \,

So using substitution method

   We have that

                      u =  - x^2

                      du =  2xdx

  So  

        p(x) =  \int\limits {\frac{1}{2} e^{-u}} \, du

       p(x) =  {\frac{1}{2} [ e^{-u}} +c ]

       p(x) =  {\frac{1}{2}  e^{-x^2}} + \frac{1}{2} c      recall  u =  - x^2   and  let  \frac{1}{2} c =  Z

       

At  x =  2 years  

     P(x)  =$25,000

So

       Since the profit rate is in million

    P(x)  =$25,000 = \frac{25000}{1000000} =$0.025 millon dollars

So  

       0.025 =  {\frac{1}{2}  e^{-2^2}} + Z  

=>    Z = 0.025 - {\frac{1}{2}  e^{-2^2}}  

       Z = 0.016  

So the profit function becomes

         P(x) =  \frac{1}{2} e^{-x^2} +0.016
